The background is Backgrounds/Texture/Nature/Wood. I turned on the 4x6 guides, but liked the top part of the picture best, so made my own guide to block off the bottom of the picture and then completed the design.

The picture is rotated 21 and has a shadow (Opacity=65%, Blur=7, x=2 y=2).

The journaling blocks are from Shabby Princess' free kit Harvest Spice. The long thin blocks are all one element called "Journaling Strips"(Shadow: Opacity=65%, Blur=7, x=3 y=4). The larger block at the bottom was an element called "FloralFrame_Vintage", but it was brought in as a photo and then cropped to it's current size (Shadow: Opacity=65%, Blur=7, x=2 y=2).

2010 08 Dad and Kristy at Henry's Fork Banner

I had to find a creative way to lengthen this picture to fit the banner space, so here's how I did it. I added a rectangular shape on the right side and matched it to the shadow in top right-hand corner of the photo (red=1, green=1, blue=14). Then, from Embellishments/Background Builders (included with MemoryMixer3), I added "Dots White", then shrunk that down to cover the entire shape and go over a little bit onto the photo (Opacity: 31). Next is "Flourish" from Embellishments/Flourish/White (Rotate: 44, Opacity: 31). The leaves are from Shabby Princess' Free Kit Spontaneous Delight by Carrie Stephens. I've used the Layered Leaf Border (mirrored, Opacity: 90) along the right border, and then leaf accent is used three times to fill in (once mirrored, each element gets progressively lighter, Opacity: 85, 80, and 75). The HFBG font is Georgia, White. The Best Advice font is Trebuchet MS, White.

2010 07 Rocket Car Banner

The font for "Have Fun, Be Good" is Georgia. The other font is Trebuchet MS. The overlay is from Shabby Princess' free Celebrating kit, CelebrateWordsOverlay, although it was edited in Photoshop to erase the edges of the overlay where the designs are cut in half, and the opacity is reduced to 24. I have to say, I really like the subtle effect it gives.

The font is AdLib BT. The text on the purple circle is white and has a shadow (Opacity=65%, X=1, Y=1).

The design is made with circle and rectangle shapes. The stripes on top began with a large green rectangle. I then added rectangles of varying width of white, teal, and purple. I didn't worry about placing the bottoms of the stripes evenly. When I was pleased with the design, I made a white rectangle the width of the card and placed it over all the other stripes, creating a clean edge.

The picture has a size 1 white mat and is rotated -17. It then has a green mat and a purple mat surrounding it. The purple mat has a shadow (Opacity=65%, Blur=5, X=2, Y=2).

The font is Arial.

The picture has a size 4 white mat with a shadow (Opacity 65; Blur 7; X:2 Y:2).

Three papers were used: Green Swirl, Aqua Net, and Pink Funky Dots. Other elements were: Scalloped Pink Robbon, Striped Ribbon, Pink Flower and Orange Flower. No shadows.
